Mom and dad, 1950 or so Kodachrome taken on a camera I still have. An Argosy, common, cheap, and obviously nice glass when stopped down sufficiently. Mom is looking at dad's copy of the same camera. My Uncle Ray took this. He survives while the rest have left. What an amazing image. The bridge is in Washington or Oregon. The scene is classic, razor sharp. It did not take too much restoration to get to this. Again, looks amazing large. Mom is proud, dad befuddled. He had not yet stopped the pipe. In looking at this picture he enjoyed it for a couple of seconds then made a disparaging comment about his posture! This is one of my favorite pictures. I need to print it for my office. This week. I hope you like it.
